Kuju opts for Hip replacement

Kuju is seeking an alternative publisher for upcoming title City of the Dead following an ongoing legal dispute with Hip Interactive, MCV can reveal. A formal announcement is expected later today.

The situation regarding the action title has been unclear for several weeks. ”There have already been several interested parties in the game, the team and the technology,” commented Kuju MD Jonathan Newth. “We are hopeful that some elements of the project will continue beyond the unfortunate demise of Hip Interactive.”

Despite the troubles recently faced by the US arm of Hip, the European office had to date insisted that its association with City of the Dead had not been affected.
